We had a win today for cameraman Mat Costello against John Barilaro - for damage to his camera in a confrontation at Manly wharf. The court found that Costello’s evidence was credible and that it was difficult to accept John Barilaro’s account in face of the video that was played to the court. $10.5k for damages to gear. Plus costs. Thanks to counsel Anna Elizabeth and @friendlyjordies for funding the case.

So a sovereign citizen believes the laws of the land don't apply to them but happy to drive on our roads, use our health care and education systems and receive unemployment and or pensions. #FFS

What Australian government???
